With all due respect... Muir's rotation policy is something PdV has explicitly said he dislikes.
How is that going to work?
Plus, neither has shone particularly bright this season.
I still think SA's top 4 coaches are Heyneke Meyer, Jake White, Pieter de Villiers and Rassie Erasmus (in no particular order).
I understand why some wouldn't be able to or want to work with PdV, but surely Rassie would have been a better choice? At least one more likely to think along the same lines as PdV...

PdV is still the head coach, whether or not he agrees with Muirs rotation policy really doesn't matter, there are other qualities he would be using from him and Gold.
As to Meyer, I'm pretty sure after he didn't get the bok coaching job he pretty much decided to not bother with SA rugby anymore, I think he's looking at an overseas job.
Rassie would have been a good choice too I guess, but Muir is as good as anyone for the position of assistant coach (in my opinion).
Back to the topic at hand though.
Some reports are coming in that Pieter de Villiers will not be bringing back Butch, but is considering Percy and Matfield to accompany Smit ( I'm not sure on how Percy has been playing in France, and I'm a HUGE fan of his) but surely after Pieter's complaints on SA's problem at the number 10 position, getting back a stalwart such as James would have been a good decision, considering that he's actually been playing some good rugby for Bath ?
The sunday paper "Sondag" is predicting a few odd things as well such as Luke getting called up (might happen as he is playing very well) but more interestingly Bulls reserve hooker Bandise Maku as the 3rd option behind Smit and Bismarck. Now I have no idea who Maku is or how he plays, but surely Britz has proved what a class hooker he can be ?
(unless Pieter isn't after the mobile hooker setup).
there are 4 we'd like!
